Portugal Under 21s warmed up for tonight’s friendly with England at Turf Moor with a behind-closed-doors training session on the pitch.

Rui Jorge, the former Porto and Sporting Lisbon left back, who played for Portugal in the Japan and Korea World Cup and at Euro 2000 and 2004, put his players through their paces at the Turf, as they familiarised themselves with the surroundings ahead of the meeting against Gareth Southgate’s side - who they will meet in the European Championship Finals in June in the Czech Republic.

Burnley trio Danny Ings, Nathaniel Chalobah and Michael Keane are expected to feature for England, and, with over 10,000 tickets already sold, there is set to be a good turn out for the young Lions.
